<TITLE>26. Par 108-111</TITLE>L-108 They said, "This fellow... We got to answer to our denominations. Us Pharisees got to answer, Sadducees, Herodians, Publicans, and so forth. We all got to answer. What is it? Why, he's a fortuneteller. That's the reason He knows what's in their hearts, He perceived their thoughts. He's a fortuneteller."
He said there's never forgiveness for that when that happens in the last days. That's right. Called Him Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. That's right. They were discouraged with Him. Is that right? But He told the church, the real church here, "Don't be discouraged with them heavenly signs. For the wicked, the heathen, the unbeliever is discouraged by them," See? And we're in the last days.

L-109 Let's close by saying this, just for a moment. And they say it's not like... They just say that that's not the way God formed it. "God wants a great big this, and a great big that; and we're going to build... Six million dollars, and we're going to put this in this, and this in that" and preaching the Son of God's coming right away.
What is it? It's all turned into denominational fodder, bound in a big bunch of confederation of churches, to be burned at the end-time. That's what Jesus said. Saw-briers and all kinds of things bound in them (That's right.); fuss, carry-on, keep a revival out of the country.
I challenge that man that challenged me with that Word, anybody else. Dispute it and see what happens. Find out what takes place. If you can't stand for It, then shut up. That's right. Either come make it right, or say--do something. Yes, sir.

L-110 Noah, Matthew 24, we see them days fulfilled. And remember, Jesus said also in St. Luke 17:28 to 30, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." Is that right? Now, remember, Sodom was just before Sodom burned. And what did they receive? Did they get a sign? Sure.
Now, there's three classes of people always. Now, remember, that is unbelievers, make-believers, and believers. There's three signs, three classes, always have been. There was right there. Now, watch. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom..." Same kind, same thing. See? He went ahead and told what they was doing in the days of Noah, eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage. Said as it was in the days of Sodom before the burning... Now, watch what taken place 'fore judgment. Now, He's going to send a sign to the generation just before the burning time. There's no more water, but what, this time? Fire. The judgments of God going to be fire. And what was Sodom received?

L-111 Now, just before the burning taken place, Abraham represented the church elected, because he was elected: Abraham was. And Abraham's seed is elected with him. Now, the promise was made to Abraham and his seed, his spiritual seed, the seed that was in him that received God's Word. Regardless of what anything else went contrary to it, it's still God's Word. He stayed right with it. That's the seed of Abraham, the one that stays with the Word; not them that runs off like Lot. See?
There was the Sodomites, the unbeliever; there was--there was the Lotites; they were make-believers; and there was Abraham, the promised, elected, the believer.
